Winnipeg, Manitoba
Most of ‘Sniper: Rogue Mission’ was lensed in Winnipeg, the capital and largest city of Manitoba province. The cast and crew seemingly set up camp at various sites across the city to tape scenes against suitable backdrops. Moreover, we cannot rule out the possibility that they utilized the facilities of a sound stage in one of the film studios in the city to shoot some key portions, especially the action sequences.
Situated on the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, Winnipeg might have a diversified economy, but it mainly depends on manufacturing, health care, retail, social assistance, and public administration sectors. Apart from ‘Sniper: Rogue Mission,’ the city has been a prominent production location for numerous projects. Some of them are ‘Violent Night,’ ‘Nobody,’ ‘The Italian Job,’ ‘Night Hunter,’ and ‘The Ice Road.’
Selkirk, Manitoba
The production team of ‘Sniper: Rogue Mission’ also traveled northeast of Winnipeg to the city of Selkirk to tape some key scenes for the movie. Located in the Interlake Region of Manitoba, Selkirk is home to several places of interest, like Selkirk Water Aerodrome, Fort Gibraltar, Selkirk Lift Bridge, Selkirk—Red River, Red River Trails, and Fort Maurepas.
Kingston, Ontario
Additional portions for ‘Sniper: Rogue Mission’ were seemingly recorded in the city of Kingston in the Ontario province. To be specific, it appears that the filming unit utilized the premises of the Kingston Penitentiary at 560 King Street West and shot some key scenes for the action movie on location. It used to be a maximum security prison, but now it is a museum open to the public, allowing you to tour the prison.
